Not much you can do - even of you have the IP address. These are strictly controller managed devices, either bound to a local controller, or to a cloud controller. Ubiquity does provide some discovery tools and Apps. But then, you still won't be able access that AP easily.

I can see the AP's MAC address on the address table on the switch, but no ip info. Is there a way to ping a MAC to get IP?

Install an IP scanner to detects IP address and MAC address. The XS716T switch detects the Learned MAC address only.

ok, which range do I scan?
0.0.0.0. - 255.255.255.255?

Check the IP range of your router.
Example: starting IP: 192.198.1.2 and ending IP: 192.168.1.254

The XS716T is a L2 switch, so not much need for L3 information..
From a Linux system ping to the broadcast address, like 192.168.1.255 - one of the answering ones might be the AP.

I know the default IP is 192.168.1.20. I have my laptop with a default IP of 192.168.1.10. I used IP Scanner to scan between 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255, but it's only finding the laptop IP.
This is a used access point, so it might not be in the default IP. That's what I'm having issue with.
